Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a curve for a road segment intersecting at an angle of 90 degrees, incorporating a radius of 100 m. Calculate tangent and curve lengths.

💡 Hint: Remember to check angle measures during calculations.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a road has a chainage of 500 m at the intersection and a tangent length of 40 m, what is the chainage at the start of the curve?

💡 Hint: Visualize the intersection to visualize where points fall on the curve.
